For an industry that basically runs the world economy most people know very little about the enormous complex that touches almost every single thing you use. From the chair you are sitting on to the yogurt you're eating to the steering wheel in you car, all those things were made possible thanks to an industry that has been operating since man learned to float. These are 25 mind blowing facts about the shipping industry.

Here's a preview:
Around two-thirds of ship crews in the world have no means of communication while they are on the open sea. Only about 1 in 10 will have freely available Internet.
In 2010, Somali pirates were holding 544 seafarers hostage. Every year, more than 2,000 sailors die at sea, and an incredible two ships are lost every day. In 2012, the attack rates on seafarers was higher than the number of violent crimes in South Africa, the highest-crime nation on Earth.
A container ship travels the equivalent of three-quarters of the way to the moon and back in one year during its regular travel across the oceans.
The largest ships can cost over 200 million dollars to build.
Females constitute only about 2% of seafarers. People from the Philippines make up more than a third of all crews worldwide, with nearly a quarter million at sea.
The largest ships can store 745 million bananas in nearly 15,000 containers. That's about one for every person in Europe and North America.
Shipping is one of the oldest industries in the world. Today, however, it plays as important a role as ever.
There are approximately 55,000 merchant ships carrying cargo around the world.
Around 1.5 million seafarers are employed by the global shipping industry
In 2009, the 15 biggest ships in the world gave off the same amount of greenhouse gas as 760 million cars, or about two cars for every American.
Compared to trucks and planes however, shipping is still the greenest form of transport, relatively speaking.
Worldwide, only around 2% to 10% of containers are actually inspected. U.S. ports normally inspect roughly 5% of the 17 million containers arriving at the border every year.
Germany, Japan, and Greece are the three countries with the biggest fleets based on total dead weight tonnage controlled by parent companies located in these countries.
Having made the previous two points, it's worth mentioning that if you added shipping to the list of the world's most polluting countries, it would come in sixth place.
Shipping companies are extremely secretive. For example, the official Greek shipowners' association won't even reveal how many members it has.
As of this moment there are roughly 20 million containers crossing the world.
A container ship engine has about 1,000 times more power than a family car.
To give you an example of how much it costs to ship something, a bicycle would be roughly 10 dollars while a soda can would be less than a penny.
Economically speaking, the shipping industry is enormous. In theUnited Kingdom, it accounts for more of the GDP than restaurants, takeaway food, and civil engineering combined.
Shipping is so big in fact that it constitutes roughly 90 percent of the world's trade.
If you were to line up the containers on just one ship they would easily stretch nearly halfway around the planet. If you stacked them up, and they would reach to nearly 7,500EiffelTowers and if you unloaded their cargo onto trucks the traffic would stretch for 60 miles.
Shipping is one of the first industries to adopt widely implemented international safety standards.
In 2011 the 360 commercial ports in the United States received goods from abroad worth $1.73 trillion. The U.S. relies on shipping to bring in two-thirds of its oil supply.
In the global fleet there are six types of ships: General cargo ships, bulk carriers, fishing vessels, container ships, passenger ships, and tankers.
Shipping is cheap. It's so cheap in fact, that rather than fillet its own fish, Scotland can send its cod 10,000 miles across the ocean to China to be filleted, and then sent back for less than the price of doing it themselves.

Robert Goodwill MP
A thriving maritime sector is fundamental to this government’s vision for a prosperous Britain. A vision with our maritime industries at the heart of our economy, driving growth and innovation.
Michael Parker
The maritime industry contributes around £11 billion a year to the UK economy, and we employ, as an industry, around a quarter of a million people in this country.
Guy Platten
The UK maritime sector is composed of so many different parts of the cluster. We have it all here. We’ve got the ship managers, we’ve got the ship owners, we’ve got law firms, accountancy firms, finance houses, consultancies, training providers, we’ve got a highly skilled workforce, we’ve got an adaptable economic policy, we’ve got stable democracy and a good rule of law. So it’s so many good reasons to come to the UK to set up a maritime business.
Robert Mortimer
The biggest challenge I think is to stay looking long term, to look ahead. To look ahead, to look at the increasing, the growth in global trade, and therefore the opportunities available for the UK to capture more of that trade, whether it’s in the port sector or shipping or services. And to invest to be prepared for that trade.
Lord Mountevans
What we have done recently under government leadership, a Maritime Growth Study was commissioned which I have been privileged to chair.
This is the first time for some 20 years that a major review has been made of both how government is organised in this sector and also how business promotes itself.
DougBarrow
And that’s an opportunity to see where we can be more competitive as a country and to contribute more to the economy, and that’s very important that we get that right.
Robert Goodwill MP
Sea trade will double by 2030 and the UK’s maritime and marine sectors are ready to seize the opportunities this creates.

Cargo

The word cargo refers in particular to goods or produce being conveyed – generally for commercial gain – by ship, boat, or aircraft, although the term is now often extended to cover all types of freight, including that carried by train, van, truck, or intermodal container. The term cargo is also used in case of goods in the cold-chain, because the perishable inventory is always in transit towards a final end-use, even when it is held in cold storage or other similar climate-controlled facility.

Multi-modal container units, designed as reusable carriers to facilitate unit load handling of the goods contained, are also referred to as cargo, specially by shipping lines and logistics operators. Similarly, aircraft ULD boxes are also documented as cargo, with associated packing list of the items contained within. When empty containers are shipped each unit is documented as a cargo and when goods are stored within, the contents are termed as containerised cargo.

Transportation types

Marine

Business

A business, also known as an enterprise, agency or a firm, is an entity involved in the provision of goods and/or services to consumers. Businesses are prevalent in capitalisteconomies, where most of them are privately owned and provide goods and services to customers in exchange for other goods, services, or money. Businesses may also be social not-for-profit enterprises or state-owned public enterprises targeted for specific social and economic objectives. A business owned by multiple individuals may be formed as an incorporated company or jointly organised as a partnership. Countries have different laws that may ascribe different rights to the various business entities.

Business can refer to a particular organization or to an entire market sector, e.g. "the music business". Compound forms such as agribusiness represent subsets of the word's broader meaning, which encompasses all activity by suppliers of goods and services. The goal is for sales to be more than expenditures resulting in a profit.

Freight transport

Freight transport is the physical process of transportingcommodities and merchandise goods and cargo. The term shipping originally referred to transport by sea, but is extended in American English to refer to transport by land or air (International English: "carriage") as well. "Logistics", a term borrowed from the military environment, is also fashionably used in the same sense.

Modes of shipment

Ground

Land or "ground" shipping can be by train or by truck (International English: lorry). In air and sea shipments, ground transport is required to take the cargo from its place of origin to the airport or seaport and then to its destination because it is not always possible to establish a production facility near ports due to limited coastlines of countries. Ground transport is typically more affordable than air, but more expensive than sea especially in developing countries like India, where inland infrastructure is not efficient.

Shipment of cargo by trucks, directly from the shipper's place to the destination, is known as a door to door shipment and more formally as multimodal transport. Trucks and trains make deliveries to sea and air ports where cargo is moved in bulk.

Logistics

Air transport is a component of many international logistics networks, managing and controlling the flow of goods, energy, information and other resources like products, services, and people, from the source of production to the marketplace. Logistics involves the geographical repositioning of raw materials, work in process, and finished inventories.

The Shipping Industry May Finally Be Turning To Wind Power (HBO)

The Shipping Industry May Finally Be Turning To Wind Power (HBO)

The Shipping Industry May Finally Be Turning To Wind Power (HBO)

The merchant shipping industry releases 2.2% of the world’s carbon emissions, about the same as Germany, and the International Maritime Organization estimates that could increase up to 250% by 2050 if no action is taken.
Finnish company Norsepower may have a solution in the spinning cylinders they’ve designed for ships to harness wind power and produce forward thrust. The result is a ship that needs less fuel to travel the seas - a major boost to the industry that transports 90% of international trade. VICENews took a ride on the Estraden, a cargo ship fitted with Norsepower RotorSails, to see the technology that can reduce a ship’s carbon emissions by 1000 tons per year. If all 50,000 merchant ships adopted Norsepower Rotor Sails, the costs saved on fuel would be over $7 billion a year, and the emissions prevented would equal more than 12 coal fired power plants.
While zero emission ships could be achieved using Rotor Sails paired with other alternative fuel sources, the economic incentives haven’t been strong enough to mobilize the industry just yet. But strides such as those taken by Norsepower could help kickstart a widescale greening of the industry.

Six Months At Sea In The Merchant Marine

In this short documentary, I tried to answer some of the common questions that I usually get about shipping. The footage I took myself using fairly basic cameras that I could fit in my pocket while I was on the job as a deckhand. The story follows me on a six month journey around the world on a container ship which was on a run between New York and Singapore via the Suez Canal. This was my first time going to sea on a large ship so everything was relatively new to me, therefore please excuse the couple of shipping terms I misused (such as saying "license" when I should have said "credential"). I have been on many ships since and will continue to ship out for the foreseeable future. Thanks for watching.

The Shipping Industry May Finally Be Turning To Wind Power (HBO)

The merchant shipping industry releases 2.2% of the world’s carbon emissions, about the same as Germany, and the International Maritime Organization estimates that could increase up to 250% by 2050 if no action is taken.
Finnish company Norsepower may have a solution in the spinning cylinders they’ve designed for ships to harness wind power and produce forward thrust. The result is a ship that needs less fuel to travel the seas - a major boost to the industry that transports 90% of international trade. VICENews took a ride on the Estraden, a cargo ship fitted with Norsepower RotorSails, to see the technology that can reduce a ship’s carbon emissions by 1000 tons per year. If all 50,000 merchant ships adopted Norsepower Rotor Sails, the costs saved on fuel would be over $7 billion a yea...

Six Months At Sea In The Merchant Marine

In this short documentary, I tried to answer some of the common questions that I usually get about shipping. The footage I took myself using fairly basic cameras that I could fit in my pocket while I was on the job as a deckhand. The story follows me on a six month journey around the world on a container ship which was on a run between New York and Singapore via the Suez Canal. This was my first time going to sea on a large ship so everything was relatively new to me, therefore please excuse the couple of shipping terms I misused (such as saying "license" when I should have said "credential"). I have been on many ships since and will continue to ship out for the foreseeable future. Thanks for watching.

For an industry that basically runs the world economy most people know very little about the enormous complex that touches almost every single thing you use. From the chair you are sitting on to the yogurt you're eating to the steering wheel in you car, all those things were made possible thanks to an industry that has been operating since man learned to float. These are 25 mind blowing facts about the shipping industry.

Here's a preview:
Around two-thirds of ship crews in the world have no means of communication while they are on the open sea. Only about 1 in 10 will have freely available Internet.
In 2010, Somali pirates were holding 544 seafarers hostage. Every year, more than 2,000 sailors die at sea, and an incredible two ships are lost every day. In 2012, the attack rates on seafarers was higher than the number of violent crimes in South Africa, the highest-crime nation on Earth.
A container ship travels the equivalent of three-quarters of the way to the moon and back in one year during its regular travel across the oceans.
The largest ships can cost over 200 million dollars to build.
Females constitute only about 2% of seafarers. People from the Philippines make up more than a third of all crews worldwide, with nearly a quarter million at sea.
The largest ships can store 745 million bananas in nearly 15,000 containers. That's about one for every person in Europe and North America.
Shipping is one of the oldest industries in the world. Today, however, it plays as important a role as ever.
There are approximately 55,000 merchant ships carrying cargo around the world.
Around 1.5 million seafarers are employed by the global shipping industry
In 2009, the 15 biggest ships in the world gave off the same amount of greenhouse gas as 760 million cars, or about two cars for every American.
Compared to trucks and planes however, shipping is still the greenest form of transport, relatively speaking.
Worldwide, only around 2% to 10% of containers are actually inspected. U.S. ports normally inspect roughly 5% of the 17 million containers arriving at the border every year.
Germany, Japan, and Greece are the three countries with the biggest fleets based on total dead weight tonnage controlled by parent companies located in these countries.
Having made the previous two points, it's worth mentioning that if you added shipping to the list of the world's most polluting countries, it would come in sixth place.
Shipping companies are extremely secretive. For example, the official Greek shipowners' association won't even reveal how many members it has.
As of this moment there are roughly 20 million containers crossing the world.
A container ship engine has about 1,000 times more power than a family car.
To give you an example of how much it costs to ship something, a bicycle would be roughly 10 dollars while a soda can would be less than a penny.
Economically speaking, the shipping industry is enormous. In theUnited Kingdom, it accounts for more of the GDP than restaurants, takeaway food, and civil engineering combined.
Shipping is so big in fact that it constitutes roughly 90 percent of the world's trade.
If you were to line up the containers on just one ship they would easily stretch nearly halfway around the planet. If you stacked them up, and they would reach to nearly 7,500EiffelTowers and if you unloaded their cargo onto trucks the traffic would stretch for 60 miles.
Shipping is one of the first industries to adopt widely implemented international safety standards.
In 2011 the 360 commercial ports in the United States received goods from abroad worth $1.73 trillion. The U.S. relies on shipping to bring in two-thirds of its oil supply.
In the global fleet there are six types of ships: General cargo ships, bulk carriers, fishing vessels, container ships, passenger ships, and tankers.
Shipping is cheap. It's so cheap in fact, that rather than fillet its own fish, Scotland can send its cod 10,000 miles across the ocean to China to be filleted, and then sent back for less than the price of doing it themselves.

VideoTranscript:
Robert Goodwill MP
A thriving maritime sector is fundamental to this government’s vision for a prosperous Britain. A vision with our maritime industries at the heart of our economy, driving growth and innovation.
Michael Parker
The maritime industry contributes around £11 billion a year to the UK economy, and we employ, as an industry, around a quarter of a million people in this country.
Guy Platten
The UK maritime sector is composed of so many different parts of the cluster. We have it all here. We’ve got the ship managers, we’ve got the ship owners, we’ve got law firms, accountancy firms, finance houses, consultancies, training providers, we’ve got a highly skilled workforce, we’ve got an adaptable economic policy, we’ve got stable democracy and a good rule of law. So it’s so many good reasons to come to the UK to set up a maritime business.
Robert Mortimer
The biggest challenge I think is to stay looking long term, to look ahead. To look ahead, to look at the increasing, the growth in global trade, and therefore the opportunities available for the UK to capture more of that trade, whether it’s in the port sector or shipping or services. And to invest to be prepared for that trade.
Lord Mountevans
What we have done recently under government leadership, a Maritime Growth Study was commissioned which I have been privileged to chair.
This is the first time for some 20 years that a major review has been made of both how government is organised in this sector and also how business promotes itself.
DougBarrow
And that’s an opportunity to see where we can be more competitive as a country and to contribute more to the economy, and that’s very important that we get that right.
Robert Goodwill MP
Sea trade will double by 2030 and the UK’s maritime and marine sectors are ready to seize the opportunities this creates.

Strait Shipping is New Zealand's leading shipping business -- operating Cook Strait ferry services since 1992. With around 30 return sailings across Cook Strait each week, we transport hundreds of thousands of tonnes of livestock and cargo freight between the North and SouthIsland all year round. Between them, our ships offer just under 10,000 metres of ro ro space every day, with a capacity for most over sized loads. For more information or to get in touch please visit http://www.straitshipping.co.nz

The merchant shipping industry releases 2.2% of the world’s carbon emissions, about the same as Germany, and the International Maritime Organization estimates that could increase up to 250% by 2050 if no action is taken.
Finnish company Norsepower may have a solution in the spinning cylinders they’ve designed for ships to harness wind power and produce forward thrust. The result is a ship that needs less fuel to travel the seas - a major boost to the industry that transports 90% of international trade. VICENews took a ride on the Estraden, a cargo ship fitted with Norsepower RotorSails, to see the technology that can reduce a ship’s carbon emissions by 1000 tons per year. If all 50,000 merchant ships adopted Norsepower Rotor Sails, the costs saved on fuel would be over $7 billion a year, and the emissions prevented would equal more than 12 coal fired power plants.
While zero emission ships could be achieved using Rotor Sails paired with other alternative fuel sources, the economic incentives haven’t been strong enough to mobilize the industry just yet. But strides such as those taken by Norsepower could help kickstart a widescale greening of the industry.

In this short documentary, I tried to answer some of the common questions that I usually get about shipping. The footage I took myself using fairly basic cameras that I could fit in my pocket while I was on the job as a deckhand. The story follows me on a six month journey around the world on a container ship which was on a run between New York and Singapore via the Suez Canal. This was my first time going to sea on a large ship so everything was relatively new to me, therefore please excuse the couple of shipping terms I misused (such as saying "license" when I should have said "credential"). I have been on many ships since and will continue to ship out for the foreseeable future. Thanks for watching.

Container shipping documentary

Learn more about DNV GL’s DNV GL’s concept design for an autonomous, fully battery powered and highly efficient small general cargo ship – ReVolt. The Research and Innovation team was inspired by the Norwegian government’s NationalTransport plan to move more transport from land to sea, facilitate short sea shipping and build maritime infrastructure.
ReVolt has already been built in the form of a 1:20 scale model and DNV GL is currently testing its capabilities in open water in Norway.
In the future many of the concepts and technologies in the ReVolt design could also be used in trading vessels. We hope that ReVolt can serve as inspiration for ship owners and yards in their efforts to develop new solutions for a safe and sustainable future.

The North American Seaboard has been transformed by the joint forces of globalization, regionalization and containerization. Since the mid 1990s ports show a process of traffic concentration among largest port gateways. Hinterland access, the configuration of shipping line networks and supply chain management are the most significant factors driving the process at ports. Port competition is not determined by a single factor, but by several: port infrastructure, liner service (frequency of services), the availability of distribution centers and the market size that can be reached within 24 hours. Participants in this session will learn trends in ports, the forecasted growth in ports and have the ...

The hidden opportunity in Global shipping - Documentary
The hidden opportunity in container shipping
The container-shipping industry has been highly unprofitable over the past five years. Making things worse, earnings have been exceptionally volatile. Several factors are responsible, notably trade’s spotty recovery from the global financial crisis, and redoubled efforts by corporate customers to control costs. Some of the pain is self-inflicted: as in past cycles, the industry extrapolated the good times and foresaw an unsustainable rise in demand. It is now building capacity that appears will be mostly unneeded.
These problems are real and significant, and largely beyond the power of any one company to address. But shipping...

The hidden opportunity in Global shipping - Documentary
The hidden opportunity in container shipping
The container-shipping industry has been highly unprofitable over the past five years. Making things worse, earnings have been exceptionally volatile. Several factors are responsible, notably trade’s spotty recovery from the global financial crisis, and redoubled efforts by corporate customers to control costs. Some of the pain is self-inflicted: as in past cycles, the industry extrapolated the good times and foresaw an unsustainable rise in demand. It is now building capacity that appears will be mostly unneeded.
These problems are real and significant, and largely beyond the power of any one company to address. But shipping companies cannot afford to throw up their hands and accept their fate. Hidden beneath these issues (and driving them to a degree) is another set of challenges that shipping lines can readily take on. Across the enterprise, in commercial, operations, and network and fleet activities, shipping lines have opportunities to improve performance. In sales, for example, carriers often confuse their costs with the value received by customers and fail to charge a premium for services for which shippers will pay more. In operations, many lines treat bunker as just another cost of doing business. In fact, fuel presents many opportunities, not just in procurement, but also in consumption. In network design, more than a few shipping companies use outmoded approaches to design their routes; new and more powerful systems use algorithms to make better, more effective decisions about networks.
With a little bit here and a little bit there, companies that take on a full program of initiatives can boost earnings by as much as 10 to 20 percentage points—enough to reverse the recent trend, and return to profit. To realize that kind of upside, however, firms must also ready their organizations for change. That’s a nontrivial challenge: in many ways, very little has changed in container shipping since the first crane hoisted the first box in 1956. Companies need to find ways to help employees embrace new ways of working and must be prepared to bet on the future. Carriers that embrace change will be better prepared than their rivals to make the best of the current business cycle and to thrive in the next one.
The industry’s bleak economics
Transport is often seen as the harbinger of the broader economy. It certainly fulfilled that role in the recent economic crisis, as business fell off precipitously. However, shipping is now also a kind of lagging indicator: its performance is trailing the broader, somewhat erratic global recovery.
A big part of the problem is that the industry continues to add capacity. By 2015, the typical vessel delivered will handle about 10,000 20-foot equivalent units (TEU), five times more than ships built in the 1990s. Not surprisingly, pressure to fill this capacity and capture the efficiency benefits of larger vessels has led to hasty decisions by carriers. In turn, profits have become exceptionally volatile. Record losses in 2009 were followed by strong profits in 2010―and significant losses again in 2011

Tweet this video! - http://clicktotweet.com/aPe_I
For an industry that basically runs the world economy most people know very little about the enormous complex that touches almost every single thing you use. From the chair you are sitting on to the yogurt you're eating to the steering wheel in you car, all those things were made possible thanks to an industry that has been operating since man learned to float. These are 25 mind blowing facts about the shipping industry.

Here's a preview:
Around two-thirds of ship crews in the world have no means of communication while they are on the open sea. Only about 1 in 10 will have freely available Internet.
In 2010, Somali pirates were holding 544 seafarers hostage. Every year, more than 2,000 sailors die at sea, and an incredible two ships are lost every day. In 2012, the attack rates on seafarers was higher than the number of violent crimes in South Africa, the highest-crime nation on Earth.
A container ship travels the equivalent of three-quarters of the way to the moon and back in one year during its regular travel across the oceans.
The largest ships can cost over 200 million dollars to build.
Females constitute only about 2% of seafarers. People from the Philippines make up more than a third of all crews worldwide, with nearly a quarter million at sea.
The largest ships can store 745 million bananas in nearly 15,000 containers. That's about one for every person in Europe and North America.
Shipping is one of the oldest industries in the world. Today, however, it plays as important a role as ever.
There are approximately 55,000 merchant ships carrying cargo around the world.
Around 1.5 million seafarers are employed by the global shipping industry
In 2009, the 15 biggest ships in the world gave off the same amount of greenhouse gas as 760 million cars, or about two cars for every American.
Compared to trucks and planes however, shipping is still the greenest form of transport, relatively speaking.
Worldwide, only around 2% to 10% of containers are actually inspected. U.S. ports normally inspect roughly 5% of the 17 million containers arriving at the border every year.
Germany, Japan, and Greece are the three countries with the biggest fleets based on total dead weight tonnage controlled by parent companies located in these countries.
Having made the previous two points, it's worth mentioning that if you added shipping to the list of the world's most polluting countries, it would come in sixth place.
Shipping companies are extremely secretive. For example, the official Greek shipowners' association won't even reveal how many members it has.
As of this moment there are roughly 20 million containers crossing the world.
A container ship engine has about 1,000 times more power than a family car.
To give you an example of how much it costs to ship something, a bicycle would be roughly 10 dollars while a soda can would be less than a penny.
Economically speaking, the shipping industry is enormous. In theUnited Kingdom, it accounts for more of the GDP than restaurants, takeaway food, and civil engineering combined.
Shipping is so big in fact that it constitutes roughly 90 percent of the world's trade.
If you were to line up the containers on just one ship they would easily stretch nearly halfway around the planet. If you stacked them up, and they would reach to nearly 7,500EiffelTowers and if you unloaded their cargo onto trucks the traffic would stretch for 60 miles.
Shipping is one of the first industries to adopt widely implemented international safety standards.
In 2011 the 360 commercial ports in the United States received goods from abroad worth $1.73 trillion. The U.S. relies on shipping to bring in two-thirds of its oil supply.
In the global fleet there are six types of ships: General cargo ships, bulk carriers, fishing vessels, container ships, passenger ships, and tankers.
Shipping is cheap. It's so cheap in fact, that rather than fillet its own fish, Scotland can send its cod 10,000 miles across the ocean to China to be filleted, and then sent back for less than the price of doing it themselves.

Maritime and Shipping - the UK’s world-class ambition

The UK is a leading modern maritime centre with many global businesses already based here and annually contributes around £11 billion to the economy. The Department for TransportShipping and PortsMinisterRobert Goodwill is joined by key industry figures to showcase our one-stop-shop maritime professional and business services sectors on which the global industry relies. The MaritimeGrowthStudy demonstrates our willingness to examine the challenges we face, our commitment to listen to partners and our ambition to act.
Find out more about the publication of the Maritime Growth Study at the launch of London International Shipping 2015 here:

VideoTranscript:
Robert Goodwill MP
A thriving maritime sector is fundamental to this government’s vision for a prosperous Britain. A vision with our maritime industries at the heart of our economy, driving growth and innovation.
Michael Parker
The maritime industry contributes around £11 billion a year to the UK economy, and we employ, as an industry, around a quarter of a million people in this country.
Guy Platten
The UK maritime sector is composed of so many different parts of the cluster. We have it all here. We’ve got the ship managers, we’ve got the ship owners, we’ve got law firms, accountancy firms, finance houses, consultancies, training providers, we’ve got a highly skilled workforce, we’ve got an adaptable economic policy, we’ve got stable democracy and a good rule of law. So it’s so many good reasons to come to the UK to set up a maritime business.
Robert Mortimer
The biggest challenge I think is to stay looking long term, to look ahead. To look ahead, to look at the increasing, the growth in global trade, and therefore the opportunities available for the UK to capture more of that trade, whether it’s in the port sector or shipping or services. And to invest to be prepared for that trade.
Lord Mountevans
What we have done recently under government leadership, a Maritime Growth Study was commissioned which I have been privileged to chair.
This is the first time for some 20 years that a major review has been made of both how government is organised in this sector and also how business promotes itself.
DougBarrow
And that’s an opportunity to see where we can be more competitive as a country and to contribute more to the economy, and that’s very important that we get that right.
Robert Goodwill MP
Sea trade will double by 2030 and the UK’s maritime and marine sectors are ready to seize the opportunities this creates.

Cargo

The word cargo refers in particular to goods or produce being conveyed – generally for commercial gain – by ship, boat, or aircraft, although the term is now often extended to cover all types of freight, including that carried by train, van, truck, or intermodal container. The term cargo is also used in case of goods in the cold-chain, because the perishable inventory is always in transit towards a final end-use, even when it is held in cold storage or other similar climate-controlled facility.

Multi-modal container units, designed as reusable carriers to facilitate unit load handling of the goods contained, are also referred to as cargo, specially by shipping lines and logistics operators. Similarly, aircraft ULD boxes are also documented as cargo, with associated packing list of the items contained within. When empty containers are shipped each unit is documented as a cargo and when goods are stored within, the contents are termed as containerised cargo.

Story of Cargo Ship / Full Documentary

One of the biggest container ships in the world sails from Malaysia to Europe. Launched in 2006 she was the largest container ship ever built, and in 2010 she and her seven sister ships were among the longest container ships.

Learn more about DNV GL’s DNV GL’s concept design for an autonomous, fully battery powered and highly efficient small general cargo ship – ReVolt. The Research and Innovation team was inspired by the Norwegian government’s NationalTransport plan to move more transport from land to sea, facilitate short sea shipping and build maritime infrastructure.
ReVolt has already been built in the form of a 1:20 scale model and DNV GL is currently testing its capabilities in open water in Norway.
In the future many of the concepts and technologies in the ReVolt design could also be used in trading vessels. We hope that ReVolt can serve as inspiration for ship owners and yards in their efforts to develop new solutions for a safe and sustainable future.

Six Months At Sea In The Merchant Marine

In this short documentary, I tried to answer some of the common questions that I usually get about shipping. The footage I took myself using fairly basic cameras that I could fit in my pocket while I was on the job as a deckhand. The story follows me on a six month journey around the world on a container ship which was on a run between New York and Singapore via the Suez Canal. This was my first time going to sea on a large ship so everything was relatively new to me, therefore please excuse the couple of shipping terms I misused (such as saying "license" when I should have said "credential"). I have been on many ships since and will continue to ship out for the foreseeable future. Thanks for watching.

The North American Seaboard has been transformed by the joint forces of globalization, regionalization and containerization. Since the mid 1990s ports show a process of traffic concentration among largest port gateways. Hinterland access, the configuration of shipping line networks and supply chain management are the most significant factors driving the process at ports. Port competition is not determined by a single factor, but by several: port infrastructure, liner service (frequency of services), the availability of distribution centers and the market size that can be reached within 24 hours. Participants in this session will learn trends in ports, the forecasted growth in ports and have the question answered if the forecasted growth can be handled through American ports. In addition we will review the demand for further investments in ports and discuss the effect of the Panama Canal expansion on world trade routes.

The hidden opportunity in Global shipping - Documentary

The hidden opportunity in Global shipping - Documentary
The hidden opportunity in container shipping
The container-shipping industry has been highly unprofitable over the past five years. Making things worse, earnings have been exceptionally volatile. Several factors are responsible, notably trade’s spotty recovery from the global financial crisis, and redoubled efforts by corporate customers to control costs. Some of the pain is self-inflicted: as in past cycles, the industry extrapolated the good times and foresaw an unsustainable rise in demand. It is now building capacity that appears will be mostly unneeded.
These problems are real and significant, and largely beyond the power of any one company to address. But shipping companies cannot afford to throw up their hands and accept their fate. Hidden beneath these issues (and driving them to a degree) is another set of challenges that shipping lines can readily take on. Across the enterprise, in commercial, operations, and network and fleet activities, shipping lines have opportunities to improve performance. In sales, for example, carriers often confuse their costs with the value received by customers and fail to charge a premium for services for which shippers will pay more. In operations, many lines treat bunker as just another cost of doing business. In fact, fuel presents many opportunities, not just in procurement, but also in consumption. In network design, more than a few shipping companies use outmoded approaches to design their routes; new and more powerful systems use algorithms to make better, more effective decisions about networks.
With a little bit here and a little bit there, companies that take on a full program of initiatives can boost earnings by as much as 10 to 20 percentage points—enough to reverse the recent trend, and return to profit. To realize that kind of upside, however, firms must also ready their organizations for change. That’s a nontrivial challenge: in many ways, very little has changed in container shipping since the first crane hoisted the first box in 1956. Companies need to find ways to help employees embrace new ways of working and must be prepared to bet on the future. Carriers that embrace change will be better prepared than their rivals to make the best of the current business cycle and to thrive in the next one.
The industry’s bleak economics
Transport is often seen as the harbinger of the broader economy. It certainly fulfilled that role in the recent economic crisis, as business fell off precipitously. However, shipping is now also a kind of lagging indicator: its performance is trailing the broader, somewhat erratic global recovery.
A big part of the problem is that the industry continues to add capacity. By 2015, the typical vessel delivered will handle about 10,000 20-foot equivalent units (TEU), five times more than ships built in the 1990s. Not surprisingly, pressure to fill this capacity and capture the efficiency benefits of larger vessels has led to hasty decisions by carriers. In turn, profits have become exceptionally volatile. Record losses in 2009 were followed by strong profits in 2010―and significant losses again in 2011
